managing emotions

We interact with people in our lives and we constantly deposit and withdraw from each others’ emotional ‘bank account’.

Emotions are strong energy that either make or break us; make our day or dampen it; uplift us or downcast us. And that makes it very important for us all to manage our interactions with others and ultimately emotions.

So how do we do it?

Firstly, we need to match the people we are interacting with. Match them, where appropriate, in terms of their preferences. Then lead them to mutual gains.

Secondly, have a collaborative attitude. A collaborative attitude results only in win-win mutual benefits for each other. Be forgiving when others offended us and move on.

Thirdly, at the end of each interaction, always be the one to deposit into others’ emotional bank account. Let them part ways with you in a positive and memorable state. Then they will look forward to be with you again soon!
